Piano String Drawings

Piano String Drawings are drawings/musical scores and performance remnants. The piano is transformed into a drawing instrument. They appear as a flurry of chaotic pen marks invoking frantic noise at the edge of blank manuscript paper. The drawings have been produced by placing manuscript paper over the piano strings and creating gestural marks on the stave with ink. The sound generated itself echoes the process of drawing. The absence of musical notation and clefs challenges conventional musical composition and interpretation. The drawings are visual imprints of an absent, transient gesture.
